Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the stabbing spree that left 10 dead and 18 injured in Saskatchewan on Sunday, shocking and heartbreaking.

He urged people to follow updates from authorities and said Ottawa will provide resources necessary to support the province. Trudeau also said in a "show of solidarity" flags at all federal buildings in Saskatchewan, and the Peace Tower in Ottawa, were lowered to half mast.

Police said they were still searching for two suspects, identified as Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson, and asked residents to be vigilant and not approach the two men.

They added that it is believed some of the victims were targeted, while others were attacked at random. The attacks occurred at multiple locations on James Smith Cree Nation and in Weldon, Sask.

As part of the investigation, Saskatchewan RCMP announced Monday in a release that both men had been charged. Myles faces three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of break and enter. Damien faces one count of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of break and enter into a residence. Warrants have also been issued for both men's arrests and further charges are anticipated.

Regina Police Chief Evan Bray spoke Sunday about the variation of photos that had been released on Sunday and those being circulated on social media, saying it was important during an investigation that consistent photos are used that are "reflective of what we believe the suspects look like."

He said it was "safe to say" there would be several photos available with "different facial hair, those types of things," but at this point, there was no reason to believe the current photos released were not accurate.

A dangerous persons province-wide alert has also been extended to Manitoba and Alberta.
